Early life

Rosanna Duncan Lamb was born on April 16, 1819[6] in Boston, Massachusetts. Her parents were Benjamin Waldo Lamb and Deziah Lamb.[7] She was presumably named for her maternal grandmother, Rosanna Lamb née Duncan.[7] Her grandfather was Thomas Lamb (b. 1755), a lieutenant in Henry Jackson's Massachusetts regiment.[8]

She was listed in Clark's Boston Blue book at 9 Newbury Street in 1876.[9]

In March 1881, she was among the founders of the Woman's Art Exchange, a New Jersey-based organization to "encourage art studies in a line available to women" and "provide a mart or exchange where the products of their labor may be taken for disposal."[10] Each member was entitled to enter three women artists for one year.[10] Eligible artwork included needlework, woolen, and knit goods, and art classes included oil and watercolor painting and drawing in crayon.[10]

Death and legacy

Revere is quoted about her lineage in the 1902 book Genealogy of the Waldo Family of Ipswich, Massachusetts.[11]

She was listed as residing in the historic Sansay House in the 1909 New York Social Register.[12]

She died on July 26, 1910. Her funeral was held on July 28 in Morristown and was reported upon in The Boston Globe.[13]
